![Land's Wrath Upgrade | 10 Cards to Replace for Under $20 [Obuun Commander Precon Deck]](/img/n.gif)
The way the card is worded, to me it seems more likely to do damage by how many cards and not the cmc of exiled cards.
Came here to say his. Valakut Exploration says nothing about the CMC of the card. Reading the card explains the card :).
I feel sorry, DJ is so excited with the card that I almost wish it was as broken as he thought. Unfortunately, it's per card, not CMC.
Yes, but I think the card is badly written, as it can easily be misunderstood. I had to stop and think, and read it again, because instinctively it felt like it should be the cmc. Could write "damage equal to the number of cards" or something instead.
Strangely I "readded" just like DJ for the first time.
Yeah, it is weird wording. It deals "that much damage". Well - how much? - the answer - "if there are cards...". That's a broken sentence.
The last card does not work like I want it to. I hate it now. Top card has certainly become the card//land cycle.
This made me chuckle. I do this all the time with cards when I first read them. "This does WHAT NOW? Oh wait..." So what would you replace Valakut with as another card on your list?
Well, it's not just you misreading that card.
DJ great job, love your videos
That's just what I was gonna say. I was like "IT DOES WHAT"!!?. Had to read it a few times to ge it. My brain was a complete counfounding conundrum 😂😂😂
I love the card, due to the fact i dont permanently lose my card that i exiled and that if i chose not to play it, 1. goes to the graveyard instead of losing it forever in exile and 2. It does damage to each opponent per card, so its not a waste.
This card is always doing something is how i look at it.
Love your videos and keep up the great work!! ^_^
I think you’re mistaken about valakut exploration. It doesn’t deal damage equal to cmc, it’s only one damage per card
really woundered why this was ranked so big
Yep was wondering the same, also how can you have a top list without the first ever black enchantment removal card? That card should be on everyone’s list
Because it’s his list lol. Also there’s not much a talking point to it. Yeah it’s the first straight enchantment removal, run it in every black or rakdos deck, and maybe some decks you want to lose life.
Not much else to really say.
Makes you wonder if this would even be on his list had he understood the card right.
It's goin in my Torbran deck anyways
Not to be that guy, but valakut only deals 1 damage per exiled card. It's not the CMC of those cards.
Reading the card explains the card, DJ
ya ... i was like where does is say CMC on the card anywhere... still pretty ok in the right deck though.
11:36 you can actually draw 3 cards by attacking all opponents.
This is a very underrated comment! GOOD EYE MAN!
This
Im glad someone pointed it out, cause this is one of my favorite card coming out in zendikar
I think you can still pay the life for the shock lands with Yasham, because it’s a triggered ability - as opposed to an activated ability.
Agree that Wylie Beckert's style is great. Something different while still 100% fantasy.
Keep it up and keep them coming, DJ! 🙏🙏🙏
Great list, but i got that felling that Ashaya, soul of the wild should be in there somewhere, it makes so many combos and interactions possible, and Moraug, fury of akoum is such a beast of a card too.
Great list Dj thank you
surprised not to see Moraug on here. good list though.
We noticed the mistake at the end with the card, but I would like to give my appreciation to the editing at the end. The song held that closing note just as your video was coming to a close. Perfect!
"Green decks are running rampant" ..... growth?!?!
I like Confusing Conundrum in particular with Storm Cauldron
What a cauldron of confusing names
Love these videos.
Some additional praise for Valakut Exploration: it’s also card advantage that uniquely helps advances the spaces in where Boros card advantage operates: The ramp is mostly about making sure you have lands to play every turn, the new Verge Rangers design learns to work alongside top deck manipulation which works with this. It feeds for Underworld Breach. Perhaps Whites/Boros space for card advantage is not strictly the draw many people want, but being always being able to use our cards towards something. I don’t know I want white ramp that fights against what white designs are doing. I like that it lets you operate in a space of less is more, in a sense. The new wizard that draws you and an opponent a card is actually exciting to me, I forget what Gavin called it.
It’s hard to not have a lot of respect for all of the MDFCs; but my favorites are probably between Myriad Construct and Ashaya. I’ve been looking at MonoG a lot lately as someone who has mostly 3 color decks, so it got me excited about exploring new space.
I agree this card Valakut Exploration + cards like the new Nahiri Lithoforming, Boundless realms, Collective Voyage, putting X lands into play could be devastating. I've had games where I play 10+ lands from Boundless Realms.
I'm excited about more Clerics and that Nahiri Lithoforming, Ancient Greenwarden in my Landeater Korvold deck is going to be awesome :P
it's definitely a great list but you screwed up on valakut exploration
it deals damage to the number of cards sent to the yard not the total CMC of those cards
Surprised not to see Scute Swarm mentioned. That and Ashay
a, Soul of the Wind seem so incredible, particularly when paired with Ancient Greenwarden and the new land DFC's, where you might actually want to play the card *and then play it from the grave* as a land to trigger all the landfall insanity.
Confounding Conondrum is so increadibly good in Brago,King Eternal. Not only punishes your opponents and fits very well in Bragos restrictive nature, but also it's a perfect blink target to milk the value out of this sweet 2cmc permanent. Got one of those cuties at my PreReelease and instantly made room for it. The eternal King is very pleased.
Thank you DJ !!!
Ancient Greenwarden is a must have in my Locus of Rage Commander deck.
Great video! What website or program are you using? Looks interesting
I am totally replacing my Wall of Omens with Confounding Conundrum in my Brago deck.
I think the rare flip lands will be the best just because its like getting one of two basics when its needed
Can you do this series for all the other sets?
I really like your channel but i think the background music was too loud in this video
Eldrazi was the best thing that happened to Magic Universe since the past 10-15 years. After the rise of all the planewalkers cards (which are imo broken mechanic) the Eldrazi came and carried the message that "ehm, no. You take that thing out of here", at least lore-wise.
Nahiri’s Lithoforming is a bonkers card. It has great synergy with Crucible & Ancient Greenwarden, and it’s absolutely insane with Korvold. It’s also decent with Valakut Exploration. While won’t be able to play the cards VE exiles unless you have Amulet of Vigor in play, you will be able to deal a ton of damage to your opponents.
I know this is supeeer late but i have a question DJ. I want you oppinion on a niv mizzit deck Ive made. Well an infinite combo thats draw based. Ill comment the combo as a reply
So obviously theres a niv-tandem combo but I also use a grand architect Pili-pala infinite mana combo. And wat i think is an original combo... But it consists of the cards: clear the mind, the flame of keld, and turbulent dreams. Its goal is to make sure that you have enough cards to kill everyone at the table... But what do you think? Any tweaks i can make.. On a bugdet ofc...thx and nice video sorry in a rush but thought you'd like it
Btw if your not dj and like my comment you best sub to him... -.-
The best way for monowhite and Boros to ramp is to prevent opponents from ramping. Archon of Emeria is an amazing staple if you're not playing spellslinger.
If opponent also plays Valakut Exploration, does that mean you can put them in their graveyard
Idk if anyone said anything, but the gw 4/4 for 4, doesnt shut off shock lands. Because it's not activating an ability
Silundi vision can sneak in a spellsinger deck quite easy. More spell the better. free roll if you dont have too many tapped land.
Someone correct me. But, does Akiri draw you a card for each opponent hit with one or more equipped creatures?
Each opponent triggers separately so up to 3 cards? I think?
Yes.
It is when the creatures attack, not if they hit. It is even better than trying to hit.
Valakut deals damage equal to number of cards :/ lithoform makes sense in so many decks. The colourless lord effect goes so well in my mikaeus the lunarch deck
Does anyone know what site he is using to look at all of these cards?
Scryfall
1:48 I misheard this as a 4 CMC boar/boar but then realized it wasn't wrong....
Akiri deck can attack three opponents each with an equipped creature and draw 3 cards
It kind of sounded like he interpreted Valakut Exploration's landfall ability as allowing you to play lands it exiles, on its own. For clarity, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, while the use of "play" instead of "cast" doesn't stop you from playing those exiled lands, you still need legal land plays available.
In a generic deck, this probably isn't *that* likely, though in a landfall deck, you should obviously have all sorts of extra land play built into it. I may have read too much into his meaning or entirely misunderstood the card myself, but even with both portions of text clarified as suggested, I think it's a good to great card in the right situation. If you're building an EDH lands deck and are in red? Well, I'm pretty sure it's going in mine.
1:08: “These green decks are running rampant”.
I see what you did there.
yasharn doesn't do anything to lands because it says nonland permenant, so fetch lands and shock lands still work
It does affect fetch lands, since it prevents people from paying life as a cost to activate abilities or cast spells. It does not prevent you from sacrificing the fetch, however you can't sacrifice it unless you pay life, since they are both part of the activation cost. It does not, however, affect shock lands, since you pay the life as the land enters the battlefield, not as part of an activation cost.
Akira will draw you a card for each opponent you attack, at least. So 2-3(+) cards a turn depending how you build it. Not as bad, especially for boros
you have to have 3 creatures with equipment attached, the likely hood of that is magic christmas kingdom.
Nice
The text for Valakut Exploration doesn't make any sense. It says "deals that much damage" but doesn't mention a number at any point before it on the card. I feel like it should read "deals damage equal to the number of cards put into a graveyard this way" or something.
Yeah, that's how it works I believe, but it was really confusing when I first saw it.
Th boar does not stop stock lands, it is not an activated ability
Leyline Tyrant and Braid of Fire?
Yasharn is custom made to help Mr. Teeg to fight back Toxic Deluge.
Saw 2 White cards in a row. = You think I'm bad?
Sooooo am i crazy or is myriad construct really good?
You’re not crazy. There’s actually quite a few cards from this set that don’t seem to be getting deserved hype
7 mana to draw 1 or 2 cards is gonna feel great
18:30 - This isn't how the card works. If you use evolving wilds, you exile 2. You don't case them, those 2 go to the grade, you do 2 to each opponent (not equal to their CMC.).
Technically with Akiri you can draw multiple cards by attacking multiple opponents
I wish the anti ramp was white
Agreed, I thought it would of been better in white too
The thing I find impressive is how no one gets Valakut Exploration right. Not blaming or anything, but the same mistake all over the place means something is odd here.
Confounding conundrum is only going to make Simic decks even more obnoxious. It completely shits on the free white ramp options more than green who still have their mana dorks.
eh, white still mostly ramps with artifacts, just like any color other than green. it's definitely mostly hating on green decks, as while dorks are good they easily die as collateral damage to board wipes and so a lot of decks prefer just using land ramp. If you go on edhrec top green cards youll see 5 land ramp cards before you hit a mana dork. You are definitely right about it making simic decks more obnoxious tho. I do think however that we won't see a lot of the card because it's too subtle/niche for casual play but also doesn't fit well in cEDH because there is much less land ramp at that power level. Methinks it will be mostly something in enchantress decks where it will draw you cards for cheap as well as hating on some green decks.
Confusing Conundrum should not be Blue.
Green is the primary color that ramps with land drops. I know other colors can ramp by activating a creature/land/artifact to do so but there's not many cards that do so and they can do so on their opponents turns so they don't get affected. Blue is the "bounce" color and enemy to green on the color pie. I can see why it's blue.
Wylie Beckert will be the next super star artist in mtg, 100%!
How about Valakut Exploration in Alesha? Pair it with top or scrying to dump creatures and deal damage at the same time.
Russell it doesn’t work the way he said. It is only 1 damage to each opponent per card exiled. It doesn’t care about cmc at all.
Jake applegate so? It still sounds like a good card in the right build. Besides, if it was actually that powerful it would be banned.
Russell yeah I guess it would still be pretty good in Alesha. I thought you meant to use scry/top to set up damage with the way he said it worked.
Jake applegate nah, just to avoid losing cards I need, I don’t wanna exile the wrong thing and most times the creatures in Alesha aren’t cast normally and over costed anyway.
Hey Jumbo! I like your vids for the most part, but this one felt kinda rushed...
Be careful with playing confounding conundrum against a Chulane edh, he's probably going infinite with that card
Hold on for 5 seconds
I agree with you 100% until you said all the flip cards were amazing because there are very few they're actually good. On another note I'm almost positive, youu misread your number one spot
yea, lol sea gate whatever it is is likely going to be a tapped land or pay 7 draw 1 card
Read the last card again, it's doesn't work like he's saying. It's still a good card though
stax is da way
Shock lands wouldn't be touched by the hate-boar. It's not activating an ability or casting a spell.
Huh, I didn't think about this but I think you're right
Yeah shocks are triggered abilities if I'm not mistaken
@@diggerdog9205 Actually replacement effects for how they enter the battlefield.
seonc
The boar said non-land permanents hope you fix this video soon shock land can sacrifice and pay life for it ability as they are land
You still can't pay life to activate a fetch. You could pay the part of the cost to sacrifice the land, but since you cannot pay the entire cost, you couldn't activate the fetchland.
The non-land clause only applies to the permanents opponents attempt to sacrifice. It doesn't impact the cards they're trying to activate, it prevents the effects from being activated in the first place. The life cost restriction and Non-land sacrifice restriction applies to ALL cards your opponents try to play, so even if a Land card tried to sacrifice a non-land permanent, that wouldn't work.
@Desfore - It's not just opponents. It applies to all players.
Play all the cards that let you play lands and draw cards in till you exile 20 mana worth of spell gg new combo in pioneer if they blow up your enchantment o wait im still a really good ramp deck let the beat down begin
LGNjacobqwe lightsaber trainer it doesn’t work the way he said. You would need to drop 20 land to exile 20 cards to do 20 damage.
@@jakeapplegate6642 I thought it delt damage equal to the converted mana cost sad days
LOL He clearly forgot what the casting cost was for Forsaken Monument when he was talking about how great mana doublers were.
For one-this isn’t some super competitive edh channel.
Second- this is probably has a home somewhere in cedh.
Because a 5 mana (a generic 5 too) is great for a mana doubler.
Just because Kinnan exists doesn’t make Mirrari’s Wake or Zendikar Resurgence bad
@@poofypeanut0221 What I meant was that he was talking about how great it was compared to other similar cards, but was speaking as if it cost so much less than them. Then when he got to the casting cost of it he just kinda rushed by it.
"Here's the top 10 cards, but i don't actually know how half of them actually work because i didn't read the wording."
Yasharn is a terrible card, don't listen to him and don't run it.
